Adjusting voltage doesn't help the Z690 Aero G with 12,700k.
Regardless of the internal CPU Vcore value (from 0.950v to 1.25v), my power consumption stays consistent around 160 watts. My temperatures remain stable between 71-77°C using a Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black with two fans. Testing with Hanbrake on Mac OS (Hackintosh) doesn’t show any effect from changing Vcore or offset settings. Even adjusting the offset to -0.120 didn’t help.
Is there a BIOS update available? It might be a bug from a previous version. Just a guess, though.
BIOS is currently F8. I've noticed problems with newer BIOS releases affecting my Hackintosh setup, so I stuck with this version. About a month ago I switched to F8, which fixed USB, sleep and shutdown issues with Mac OS. Now I'm having trouble getting the undervolting to function properly. Previously I set it to 1.210v with an offset of -0.080v and achieved temperatures between 65-70°C. It seems the adjustment isn't working now.
